Put Hidden Worlds on your "MUST DO LIST"!! This was an awesome diversion from the beaches etc. My daughter (age 19) and I (age 45) went to Hidden Worlds in the middle of August 2008 and had a wonderful time. All the activities were really fun and not hard to do. It was the best day trip we took while in Mexico. I booked online prior to going, price was cheaper in advance and did not have to choose a specific date. I simply printed the tickets at home and took them with me. You can save $ by taking a Collectivo (local bus) to Tulum. It was only 30 pesos one way (about $3.00) to go 50-60 miles, vs. $50-60 for a taxi (one way) and very, very safe. (Hidden Worlds is very close to Xel-Ha)
When you get there, Skinny Man (his nickname) greets you and makes you feel very welcome. He's funny, nice and informative---just a cool, great guy. The staff was wonderful as well, all very helpful and humorous. There is a little restaurant where Adriana cooks a delicious local special of the day and a gift shop where you can purchase gifts---both had very reasonable prices.
The cenotes were incredible and the clear water was very refreshing. Sky Cycle was easy to peddle and the zip lines were really fun. With the Ultimate package, you may spend a few hours or all day.
Bring eco-friendly bugspray (or buy some there for $6), water, $ for food, gifts, photo CD ($25), and tips. Photo CD was worth the $ so you don't have to mess with a camera.
"Dr" Skinny Man if you are reading this--hello from Anita (the bee girl) and Clarita. Hasta la vista ; )
